This past Saturday the Exped crew put in another day of volunteering with Washington Water Trails Association. This time we helped out with the care of the WWTA campsite on Blind Island in the San Juan Islands. Removing invasive plants, gathering trash, and prepping the campsite for the season were all part of the work. Exped supplied snacks for volunteers and we even found some sun!

Thanks, as always, to the Washington Water Trails Association staff, board, and volunteers who make the water trails possible!
